Conquering fatigue through prayer

RUANNE Y. GENTRY

What makes people tired? Why does one task fatigue more than another, and why do people feel exhausted for no apparent reason?

Studies show that excessive physical exertion is only rarely the cause of exhaustion. They also reveal that emotional conflicts, depression, and anxiety are by far the most frequent causes of prolonged fatigue. See The New York Times, January 23, 1980;
